I work with thoughtful, curious people who may function well outwardly while privately struggling with anxiety, self-criticism, relationship patterns, or a sense that something in their lives no longer fits. My approach combines psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy, exploring both the deeper emotional patterns shaped by your history and practical ways to create change in the present. Clients often describe me as engaged, perceptive, and direct. I aim to create a space where you can think honestly about yourself, feel more connected, and relate differently to others and to your own inner life.
I draw from psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapy, exploring how early experiences shape present patterns, relationships, mood, and anxiety. Alongside deeper exploratory work, I use practical CBT tools that can help create meaningful change and symptom relief in the present.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to managing things on your own. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or simply ready to understand yourself more deeply, therapy can offer a space to think honestly, feel more grounded, and begin relating differently to yourself and others.
